are there still kids where you are who wear those big-ass ICP pants with the zippers and crap hanging off of them?

cuz they do here. well, not everyone, but the pissed-off looking gothy/icp type kids do. and they are, like majorly big and huge. and have lots of zippers and stuff. you would have figured this would have gone away forever at some point, but it lives for some reason.

anyway, they make me feel hot when i see people wearing them and it is a hundred degrees outside.

them or the odd candy raver will waddle by me down the street maybe once a month. i always have the same "you still exist?!" reaction.

Maryland reporting here: I saw a kid wearing these a few months ago at the mall. I wanted to stalk him, but I was with my family and we were rushing to go see a movie. Otherwise, I haven't seen any in years.

ooohhh - we're covering zones. anyways i was confirming toronto for you.

we need a map.

a giant one - on a wall.

in a huge underground lair - with a massive conference table in the center of the room.

With a giant floating globe on it.

I was in Denver two summers ago and there were a herds of them, plus more of Thermo's candy ravers!

if you have a better way for kids to advertise that their drunken parents beat them, i'd like to hear it

Plenty of them still in Utah.

haven't seen big-ass ICP pants in a while, but i did recently see a guy in a gray camo cargo kilt and big-ass raver/combat boots with like eleven huge buckles on them.

subcultures never die.

Haven't seen any kid with their wallet attached to their jeans by a big heavy chain for ages.

I would be lying to say I didn't sport one of those.

oh and the dude i'm talking about had a double wallet chain.

and how many chins?

double wallet chin

as of summer 2009, these ppl definitely still exist in santa cruz

and in seattle. had exactly this same conversation with some friends a while back, the amazement that it still exists. segues inevitably into juggalos.

whats with these furry boot things btw?

ugh sadly yes. its kind of an issue, because its easy to get someone to take off their jacket due to possibility of guitar zipper rash, but i kind of draw the line at asking peeps to take off their pants.

jj you should keep a "juggalo towel" on hand, that they'd have to have in lap, when playing the merchandise.

hello "juggalo towel", phrase that will haunt me

www.ilxor.com, your #1 source for juggalo towels!

seriously the grossest thing ever.

some unholy combination of 100% cotton, greasepaint, prob just a touch of urine, and tears.

semen. always some semen.

Definitely saw these amazing ICP big ass ICP pants on many a kid in the Las Cruces mall.

Those who did not click the link: they are big-ass pants that, when unzipped, reveal S. 2 Dope & Violent J's faces on the calf fabric.

Those are the same ICP pants I saw! Must be what they have at Hot Topic. They were so shiny!

Hot Topic – yes. I blame them for keeping these things around. It really blows my mind how many kids in the southwest wear these things, given that they are essentially giant black canvas tents covered in heat-conducting metal. The shirt of choice is of Rob Zombie as often as it is of ICP, however.

God bless all the kids that dress like this, though.

they are the leaders of tomorrow.

or maybe even right now! who knows?

i particularly like the ones where they also have the bondage pants thing going on, so the dude is basically wearing 2 skirts lashed together with belts

I don't understand that. Can you provide a picture?

like how those ICP pants are designed to never be washed. like, with all the metal and strappings, they'd be annihilated by (or would annihilate) any washing machine you tried to put them through.

Almost indistinguishable from the actual skirt:

I live near a upper-middle class high school. Look very prevalent among the kids who have to walk home rather than drive a new Volvo.

I am laughing here, but then I realize my kid could be wearing this in about a decade.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

(Actually in a fucked up way I hope she does. Y'know, rebel instead of wearing my fugly knitted sweaters.)

kids still wear rob zombie tshirts? Are they being dressed by their dads?

omg It's reached the UK

wondering the same thing

do they have a name?
Im not sure they're even boots, they look like they cover the boots the person is wearing, and part of the bottom of the leg. Who knew something worse than legwarmers would be invented.

I guess these are them
http://www.intrigueboutique.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=404

did a google search for Fluffy Leg Warmers and thats the result

they look like muppet feet

eww double ugh

Someone thought Uggs just weren't enough.

32" inseam; 30" leg opening

bahahahahaha

the bastard children of the JNCOs my contemporaries wore in junior high (I stopped at 23 or 26-inch legs, IIRC - shit got unseemly at 40-inch openings with dragons down the ass)

Trust is at the heart of the family that Lokki has created for a small group of his friends living on the streets of Denver.

They call themselves "Juggalos" -- the name for fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse. But now, the name has a more important meaning.

"Juggalos started as a family for people who feel like they don't have family," Lokki explained. "Other people see it as a gang, but we just look out for each other any way we can."

!

do people still wear big goofy cat-in-the-hat hats too?

i'm normally a big fan of people appropriating things like cat-in-the-hat hats for their own uses but in this case I don't think there's ever been a non-cat-in-the-hat use for that hat that's been honorable.

furry boots are killing me

tell my wife I love her

this look is alive and well in rural/suburban mn btw

the pants with the straps and shit...how do you walk without ripping your own legs off

oh i forgot, they're not for walking in, they're for fat people to look around and see miracles in

I am pretty sure "miracle" is the wrong word for what you will see in those pants

Wasn't that the kid who was the Angels and Airwaves fan?

there are so many horrible things about those pants that the dick cuff may not be the least defensible thing on them

see, its unfair, cuz if i saw a picture of a japanese kid wearing these i'd be like omg so cyber-cool!

http://josebalron.com/images/wardrobe/pants/tripp_whitestrap_pants.jpg

maybe...

xxxp Wouldn't want to suddenly need to take a leak in those trousers...

those are hardcore "btw when did I fall into an anime" pants

They probably have rocket boosters concealed in them.

course the japanese kid probably wouldn't wear the same pair of ass dragging clown pants every day for, like five years. cuz that's the style around here.

these are the culprits by the way:

http://www.trippnyc.com/

xp Can we all agree to shorten that to "ass clown pants"?

"if i saw a picture of a japanese kid wearing these i'd be like omg so cyber-cool!"

maybe if instead of a kid it was a robot, and the robot was mocking the humans who wore them, like that buzzard in the far side cartoon wearing a cowboy hat going howdy howdy howdy.

How about... ASIMO cosplay!

(or 'fencing in space' maybe)

man i remember for years i used to wonder why the whole gigantor jnco jeans thing from middle and high school wasn't going away and and finally having this big jaw dropping moment, when i realized, not only were they not going away, they were EVOLVING, into--well you've read the thread. more pockets, more zippers, pockets seem to be suspended by chains and dude with axes, and handcuffs i guess! my friends from school who were adding even more material to their blue jeans to make them even bigger by contrast look like totally mellowed out hippies.

Kind of suprised at the "wtf are the furry boots" thing - that was a huge thing in the raver scene for years, you'd see hopped up candy rainbow ravers all over Chapel st wearing that shit back in the day. Like, 10 years ago or more.

Still very occasionally see Giant Bondage Pants dudes, though in Melbourne theyre more likely to be babygoths than Juggalos, I suspect. I could be wrong!

Very occasionally see a sad candyraver as well, wearing very worn out, soggy loooking old dayglo/reflective giant pants that are very obviously 15 years old because you cant actually buy that shit anymore so they've just kept the same pair (eww)

i'd wear this before i wear half the shit the people on bedford ave wear, just sayin

ya! fucking bedford ave bastards! (i don't know where that is)

you will all laff at me, but after all my years of partying the furry ankle boots (on an appropriate vessel) still have sort of that "come hither, younge stud" vibe to them i find somewhat alluring.

i will regret admitting to that. calling it now.

Oh, Thermopaws.

ooohhh - we're covering zones. anyways i was confirming toronto for you.

There's definitely a "lol downtown toronto"/sigh that comes to mind upon reading this thread title.

I have a feeling Toronto and Melbourne are of a kind.

we've got yr weather right now, that's for sure.

We dont get the snow/cold you guys do. I am thinking this may be a good thing.

To be honest, this past winter couldn't have been that far off from Australia's.

ya. i went all the way to Afika to avoid it this year (previous 2 years were brutal) and felt sort of silly for it.

"Toronto and Melbourne are of a kind"

an Aussie that stayed with my roomie and i here in TO some years ago used to say exactly this. must be true!
